Women's Tennis Joins Men's Team At No. 2 In ITA/NJCAA Rankings
Apr 19, 2013

BROOKLYN, NY --- When the ITA released its NJCAA national rankings this afternoon, the ASA Women's Tennis team joined the Avengers Men's team as the second-ranked team in the country.

The Lady Avengers earned the No. 2 ranking on the strength of their 8-4 overall record, which includes an eight-game winning and upsets of two Top-10 junior college teams, then-eighth ranked St. Petersburg and then-second ranked State College of Florida. ASA also sits atop the Region IV standings for NJCAA programs from the East.

The ranking is a great stepping stone as the program looks to improve on its third-place finish at the 2012 NJCAA Women's National Championships.

A pair of Lady Avengers - freshmen Dayana Agasieva & Diana Perez - also received rankings in the singles and doubles polls. 

Name National Ranking Region IV Ranking
Dayana Agasieva
 13 4
Diana Perez 27 13
Agasieva/Perez 21 6

As with the Men's team, the success of the Women's squad continues the upward trend of Avengers Athletics this year, as they join Football, Men's Soccer, Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball, Track, Baseball and Lacrosse as ASA teams with either national rankings or major national recognition.

ABOUT ASA COLLEGE: Established in 1985, ASA College has evolved into a two-year college with course offerings and student services that rival any of its kind nationally. ASA is dedicated to educating its students and assisting them in moving on to a four-year college/university. We promote character traits such as discipline, working with others, sportsmanship and adhering to rules and regulations that will translate into specific careers paths. Our goal is to have the student's athletic experience serve as an effective stepping stone for advancement to a four-year school or their chosen career path. ASA College is a member of the NJCAA and is regionally accredited by the Middle States Commission of Higher Learning. The college is also accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. In addition, ASA College and its faculty and staff maintain required memberships and certifications from a wide realm of professional higher education and civic organizations.

ABOUT THE NJCAA: It is the mission of the NJCAA to foster a national program of athletic participation in an environment that supports equitable opportunities consistent with the educational objectives of member colleges. The NJCAA's mission is to promote and foster two-year college athletics. Unlawful discrimination is incompatible with this mission and detracts from the organization's goal of promoting healthy and fair competition.

ABOUT REGION XV: Member colleges of the NJCAA are allotted to a specific NJCAA Region upon membership to the association. Unlike other collegiate organizations that defer to conference affiliation, the NJCAA guarantees each member college's membership within the regional structure of the association. In most cases, region assignment is based upon geographic location of the college. For more information on the Region XV log on to http://region15athletics.com
